This template is used in the "date" parameter of the {{Information}} template to render the words "according to EXIF data" in the language specified in the user's preferences.

The template automatically sets the following categories: corresponding subcategory of

Category:Photographs by date for image files (the template supresses the time and categorizes by date only). It doesn't distinguish photographs from paintings, drawings, graphics and other image files.

The file type is detected with {{File type}}. The categorization can be supressed with parameter cat=no (appropriate when the file is manually moved to any subcategory of the default target category, e.g. a country-specific subcategory).

Usage
